Remind101 Mike Lawler

What is Remind101? Remind101 is a free app for teachers to use to connect with students and their parents outside of school. Students and parents opt-in by subscribing to via a unique class code. It is safe by keeping all numbers private. It’s efficient by allowing teachers to sending messages and attachments directly to students/parents phone. Teachers can access message history to ensure proper communication. Teachers can separate class by class conversations.

Why’s it needed? Gym class for students is a time that is supposed to provide students with physical exercise. It develops fine motor skills and builds confidence. Unfortunately, it has become a class where students hang out. There is a lack of communication between student/teacher, parent/teacher and student/parent.

How can it benefit? Allows teachers to send out texts via app to students/parents. Can inform parents of upcoming activities. Gives students reminders to prepare the same way for other classes. Allows teachers to take more responsibility over students. Holds students accountable for success/failure. Students/parents can give feedback by sending stamps.
